Happy Halloween

This card is very similar to the one I made for our family this year. The colors were reversed and theirs had a Glittered letter B.  Happy Halloween

St Andrew's Brandon

Our show tomorrow will be at St Andrew's UMC in Brandon.  I will have lots of cards and several made from new sets that I recently bought from Stampin' Up! I usually don't post more than one picture at a time, but since they are all new I wanted to display them all.

This is usually the only show we do in Brandon, but I just added a new one yesterday.  It will be a pop up show at a brewery.  Something new for us.  Don't worry, I don't drink beer so I won't be drinking all the profit.

Cedar Key

This weekend we are headed to Cedar Key for the annual Seafood Festival.  We always enjoy the show up there because many of our friends do this show too.  Since it is just a bit north of us the temperature is usually about four degrees less than us.   Combine that with lower humidity and the breeze off the water, it does make a difference.  Of course after 9 hours outside with only a tent for shade, we are still very warm.  This window was made  for someone who lives near the water, but not Cedar Key. The house is appropriately decorated with beach décor.  The window pulled it all together and is a beautiful show piece.

Taking Pictures of Glass

This picture really needs to be cropped.  I was going to crop it but then I thought it would be different to post a picture showing how we photograph glass.  This is certainly a non-professional set up.  The two wood posts are the trim that goes around out patio.  The panel gets hung on a nail that is in the banister.  I stand on one side holding a white pillow case.  Jim is on the other side with the camera telling me to step forward or back and move the sheet up or down.  I usually don't need to do much cropping but this one really needed it.  

Sun City Center Craft Show

Our show this weekend will be Saturday in Sun City at Southshore Church of Christ. We will have our stained glass, greeting cards and other papercrafts. Thankfully it is indoors because the temperatures here are still in the 90s. It is hosted by GFWC Sun City Center Woman's Club.  Since it is so hot here and the show is in SUN City, I thought this was an appropriate card to feature.
